1.7.10.4

Git v1.7.10.4 Release Notes ===========================

Fixes since v1.7.10.3 ---------------------

• The message file for Swedish translation has been updated a bit.

• A name taken from mailmap was copied into an internal buffer incorrectly and could overrun the buffer if it is too long.

• A malformed commit object that has a header line chomped in the middle could kill git with a NULL pointer dereference.

• An author/committer name that is a single character was mishandled as an invalid name by mistake.

• The progress indicator for a large "git checkout" was sent to stderr even if it is not a terminal.

• "git grep -e ’$pattern’", unlike the case where the patterns are read from a file, did not treat individual lines in the given pattern argument as separate regular expressions as it should.

• When "git rebase" was given a bad commit to replay the history on, its error message did not correctly give the command line argument it had trouble parsing.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
